Abstract:

I-cell disease is a rare inherited metabolic disorder resulting from a defective phosphotransferase, characterized by coarse facial features, skeletal abnormalities and mental retardation. As clinical features of this condition mimic that of Hurler disease mutation studies help in the diagnosis. We present a case of I-cell disease in a neonate with GNPTAB gene mutation.

Exome sequencing for mucolipidosis III: Detection of a novel GNPTAB gene mutation in a patient with a very mild phenotype

Mucolipidosis II and III alpha/beta (ML II/III alpha/beta) are rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage diseases that are caused by a deficiency of UDP-GlcNAc:lysosomal enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase, the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the mannose 6-phosphate targeting signal on lysosomal hydrolases. A Brazilian patient suspected of having a very mild ML III was inve...

MOLECULAR STUDY OF E148Q MUTATION IN EXON 2 OF MEFV GENE IN PATIENTS WITH PREMATURE CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

Background & Aims: Recent studies have shown that some of the MEFV gene mutations are common in patients with coronary artery disease. The present study was designed to investigate the presence or absence of E148Q mutation in exon 2 of MEFV gene in patients with premature coronary artery disease. Materials & Methods: In this study, 90 patients with coronary artery disease were voluntarily sele...

A Classic Case of Maple Syrup Urine Disease and a Novel Mutation in the BCKDHA Gene

Background: Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inherited branched-chain amino acid metabolic disorder caused by the deficiency in the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex. In MSUD, elevation of the branched-chain amino acids, such as alpha-keto acid and alpha-hydroxy acid, occurs due to the BCKDC gene deficiency, appearing in the blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid,...

cybb gene mutation detection in an iranian patient with chronic granulomatous disease

in this study, we report a mutation in cybb gene in a patient with x-cgd (diagnosed on the base of family history, ndt test, dhr 123 assay). mutation in cybb gene was detected using sscp analysis (single-strand conformation polymorphism) followed by sequencing. during screening for mutations in the cybb gene we observed 880 c t in exon 8. this mutation resulted in 290 arg stop. we also observed...
